The Master of Arts in Social Practice and Innovation (MSPI) is an interdisciplinary program at the intersections of law, communication and digital media, and political science. Each discipline approaches the roles of power and information differently, and when combined provide a holistic perspective on everyday social practice in its many changing forms. Social practice entails problem solving and collaborating with diverse communities and developing heightened awareness of societal, cultural and political issues of concern to these communities. Social innovation refers to the creation, development, adoption, and integration of new and renewed concepts, systems, and practices. The MSPI program culminates in a Major Research Project aimed at public and community engagement, through which MSPI graduates will be trained to formulate, develop and deploy effective solutions to challenging and often systemic social and political issues in ways that can support social progress.
